    El sistema de combates por turnos añade el tipo de criatura elemental más el tipo de criatura que es a la dificultad y eso es un plus para hacer las estrategias de combate.

    La historia es muy interesante y engancha desde el principio, además los personajes cada uno tiene su propia personalidad bien diferenciada de la de otros, inclusive los secundarios.

    En cuanto a las mecánicas para tener Digimon más poderes aquí sí es donde encuentro un fallo enorme y es que el ATP/ABI solo se puede subir digievolucionando y desdigievolucionando muchas veces, excesivas y al final uno tiene que caer en un farmeo insano para lograr los Digimon más poderosos, si bien es cierto que dan mejoras y se pueden comprar algunas, no es suficiente para hacerlo de forma fluida.

    Esto ya es opinión subjetiva: son los pocos combates con otros hackers (entrenadores), aunque entiendo que esto no es Pokémon, hubiera sido un añadido genial

    A líneas generales a mi me está encantando, pero siendo objetivos no es un juego de 10 ni de 9, ya que algunas misiones son repetitivas o de espera por investigación... por lo tanto yo entiendo que el juego es un 8 como mucho, eso sí, muy disfrutable desde que existe el parche en español.    … Expand

Unfortunately there are aspects of being a detective they left on the table since it all boils down to find clue, find other clue, and then be told who did it, which is a shame, but the presentation does sell it enough that you can get past it.… Expand

    Very colorful and easy to learn.
    Great characters and awesome and deep story.
    Gets a little bit grindy at times if you want to 100% it, but it is optional and you don't want to miss it.

    Videojuego obligado para todo fan de Digimon que se precie. Es un jrpg por turnos en los que tendremos que hacer uso de nuestros Digimon para combatir y solucionar el entuerto ocasionado en el mundo humano. Posee un buen numero de misiones secundarias y una historia muy interesante pero con conversaciones demasiado extensas.

    Wonderful story and battle system. You can make a lot of different teams, and there is no useless digimon, however, instead next order, cyber sleuth lacks about the importance of your decisions impacts at your partners evolution. Furthermore, you don't feel like your partners are important, even your starter, because there aren't enough interactions with your digimons.

This is also the first time I've ever been excited to play a New Game+, since I not only want to play as the girl avatar to see the differences, but it carries over EVERY bit of content minus key items! I could go on for paragraphs about what an amazing game Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth was, but it's enough to say it was one of the greatest JRPGs I've ever played, and it easily revived the Digimon fan in me that I had thought was dead.

    Pokemon and Digimon were the big deal back in the day, however, after a while, I went with team Digimon and practically stayed with them until now...and let's just say it wasn't the best experience when it comes to games. Sure pokemon games are good but they're so identical from one another that puts call of duty to shame.

    Anyway, after hearing of this game I decided to give it a go,    Pokemon and Digimon were the big deal back in the day, however, after a while, I went with team Digimon and practically stayed with them until now...and let's just say it wasn't the best experience when it comes to games. Sure pokemon games are good but they're so identical from one another that puts call of duty to shame.

    Anyway, after hearing of this game I decided to give it a go, knowing it's a turned base rpg - which automatically makes it better than 90% of the rest - and with the roster of well-known Digimon which really helps. I mean it: seeing Palmon as my starter Digimon gave me the shivers and nostalgia from back when I watched the Digimon cartoon, probably one of my favorite series of my childhood - and back then pokemon was still pretty good too. The more I played the more I just loved to finally get my team of Digimon, like Greymon or Angemon (I screamed like a fangirl at her sight) or Leomon (R.I.P.) and more.
    Not just that: each Digimon has an iconic skill that has its own animation and it's just like the anime: angemon's knuckle, Lillymon's cannon, Greymon's meteor! It makes me wish this game was available back when it was new, it would've blown pokemon away by a longshot!

    I could go on for hours and tell you why this is amazing but let's be real here: unless you never liked Digimon this might be half a turn-off because none of these details might get you. When I got Lillymon I was literally the happiest man in a while and alongside Garudamon and Metalgreymon, it was the best feeling ever to have your own dream team
    But if you never liked it, or just never got really into Digimon, this might be only half the fun and a tough cookie in general. Just beware.

    Anyway, let's switch to combat, which is very good as you can use 3 Digimon in battle and carry 8 with you - depending on your character's memory. The combat, as I said, it's your generic turn-based RPG that works and it's pretty simplistic too, having 3 types of Digimon (Virus, Vaccine, Data) alongside 8 weaknesses (Water, Fire, Plant - Electricity, Earth, Wind - Light and Dark), which can be mixed and allow you to do up to triple damage. Some Digimon can also have no weaknesses or very little of it, such as Flamedramon who's a Fire Armor type (only weak to water).
    In addition, each Digimon can learn up to 20 moves but only use 6 in combat and as far as I know, these skills are carried over while digivolving, making the formation of the perfect Digimon group a challenge of its own.

    Overall, the combat is good and has tons of iconic Digimon, and it's very vast and expanded. Too bad it's ungodly unbalanced.
    Normal is far too easy and you can almost do every battle on auto mode (minus the bosses, some of which are really tough) and hard is, well, hard enough that'll make even normal battles tough and make sure you save anytime.
    I appreciate the fact that it has a difficulty slider but I also wished that the game would be overall balanced without resulting in "ultra-easy mode" and "Insane mode".

    And last but not least, the story, and I won't go any deeper as it could be a spoiler but let me just say it's very, VERY hard to follow. The game has a hub world system so it's reasonable to say that there are not huge places to explore: only dungeons and city locations. The problem is not that though: the main problem is that the story keeps jumping focus all the time and it makes the story really hard to follow.
    For example in a chapter (I think 4?) you get tasked to prove that ghost exists: great, you think it's a digital ghost right? Nope! Ghosts are real, you proved their existence! Case closed...what?! That's it? Yes, that's it.

    This feels like a subquest mini-plot but it's actually in the main quest! These mini-plots constantly stop the flow and makes it all harder to enjoy the really good plot of the game: it has dark turns - extremely dark ones too - and its tone is taken seriously all the time, but without losing its opportunity to remind you that "it's a game about digital monsters and some of them are weirdly shaped".

    It's really great when it goes on the plot and tries to tackle on the real deal.
    it's really unfun when the game decides to stop and make me do useless chores.

    Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this game if you're a Digimon fan but if you aren't I would recommend it as a decent jrpg with "monster catching" elements and an overall good story that while hard it is quite good on its own. Really hard to say no so give it a shot: you might enjoy Digimon more than you think!

    PS: the game lacks English dubbing so for those who aren't into reading while watching, get ready to direct your eyes on the bottom of the screen 24/7!    … Expand

With a deep, lengthy story this game depicts a world of a much more mature and dark tone than it's kid friendly counterpart. With evolution being tied more to challenges and performing certain feats, there's a certain feeling of achievement in evolving your digimon that's not present in Pokemon's more vague evolution mechanics that usually require strategy guides to figure out.
    Combat is satisfying and intuitive with a healthy dose of challenge thrown in. However, the story tends to meander about a bit towards the middle sections. Some parts leave you high and dry not sure of where you're supposed to go for a certain quest and can leave you stranded for hours. And if the excuse is that you're supposed to 'sleuth' your way through those sections then I can't agree. Any segment that makes you choose between wandering aimlessly for an hour looking for an unknown location in the world or just looking it up on GameFAQs is one that's poorly designed and unfun. And when a lot of those areas tend to have the same, blue data cyber look to them, with no variety, it can be fairly monotonous to re-explore all these old areas over and over again.
    All in all though, if you don't mind keeping a walk-through pulled up for when you get stuck and can enjoy the game for what it gets right and forgive what it gets wrong, you could do much worse than to check out this title. There's a lot of variety in the digimon you'll find yourself facing, and to see what new mon you'll find next can be an exciting and fun experience. If a future title can use the strengths found in this game and couple it with a more refined experience, we may well see a truly remarkable game.    … Expand

    I understand these games flaws, such as the closed world, but we've been far too spoiled by games such as skyrim in my opinion, the combat is far too easy on the easy difficulty aside from the royal knights battles, but this is easily fixed by turning your game to hard mode. The fact that digimon have been added since release is a nice touch.

    While some dungeons are a bit repetitive especially because of having exactly the same graphics, the variety of Digimon you get to find in them is quite good. The Digimon list is not as massive as the one from World Dawn and Dusk, but all fan-favourites are here for you to train! Getting the DLC content for free in this version is also cool, as you get many more missions to do and a few gems you can use early in the game like BlkAgumon and BlkGabumon.

    In terms of difficulty, the game isn't too hard, although some bosses can be tricky to beat due to having overpowered moves. You can have some intense battles, and some of them while easy are fun. Also the game is quite long, especially if you want to get everything available as you play. That is yet another positive because with its great story it is good it lasts for long, sometimes you don't want to do secondary missions to keep going on the story!

    As a fan of the Digimon franchise, it is very hard for me to find bad things to say about this game because despite its flaws, of which there are quite a few, I can’t help but absolutely love it. We finally get a true RPG with an original story where we play the goggle-clad protagonist on a mission to save both the real and digital worlds.
    Now, all of my fandom aside, there are some issues to discuss. Cyber Sleuth is a port of a Vita game, and it’s not hard to tell. The UI tends to be too much and a bit awkward, so it’s clear it was not reworked for the PS4 version. Visuals, while smooth and colorful, are not anywhere near hardware pushing, and yet they have the charm of the long lost PS2 JRPG era. The best way I can describe the visuals and vibe is an up-scaled Persona 4.
    Get lost in the cyberpunk aesthetic of Cyber Sleuth, and get ready to grind, cause oh boy, you are gonna be doing A LOT of that. When it comes to RPGs, I think we all expect a bit of grinding, and sometimes it can even be optional altogether depending on how you as a player choose to tackle RPG’s. That is not the case here. As you raise your Digimon, you will have to level them, evolve them, de-evolve them, level them, and evolve them again. This doesn’t really become too gratuitous until you want to push them past the Champion stage, however. Thanks to the games ABI stat (Ability) and level cap mechanics, you can count on plenty of grind time to get those badass Ultimates, Megas, and even the elusive Ultras. Repeatedly evolving and de-evolving your Digimon will raise their level cap and their ABI stat, both of which usually have high requirements for Ultimate level evolution and beyond.
    Hands down, the elephant in the room is the localization. Bamco – why? Just why? Sloppy at best, the translation fails to be anything close to impressive. Dialog with NPC’s is fine for the most part, and the focal story dialog is great, but anything outside of that is a shot in the dark. The Digiline system – a means by which you communicate to friends and your Digimon in the digifarm via texting – is riddled with broken English or unintelligible babble. Considering the almost year gap between the release of the Japanese and English versions, and the fact that they did not record an English dub, this just seems really stupid. If you want to expand your market Bamco, make sure you polish this **** up! There are people in the West that want to buy your games, but this is not a way to build our confidence in you as a publisher!
    Despite its flaws, Digimon Story’s charm bleeds through and it kept me hooked all the way to the end. I spent just shy of 105 hours playing through the well-paced, if fairly linear, story, and finishing up all optional content and DLC quests, as well as getting that beautiful Platinum trophy.
    Pros:
    ---So, so charming

    The evolution, Digimon discovery, and training systems are addictive and rewarding, the soundtrack is catchy and entertaining (I may or may not be listening to it right now), and the story is competent with enough genuinely interesting concepts from both main story missions and side quests to leave me generally satisfied, and with a few moments that I'm sure will stick with me.

    The translation is rather rough, with fairly frequent errors. Level design is a bit of a downside here too, as the dungeons are pretty much universally simplistic, and not particularly engaging to navigate. Especially in the early to mid game, they can get rather repetitive.

    There is a lot of content to be found in this game, and much of it is optional, giving you the choice of how far into the game you want to delve. A significant amount of side quest content has been added since the game released, and all of it (at the time of this writing) is free, which is always a nice touch.

    I'm quite happy to say that, despite my high hopes, and despite my worries of what might go wrong, Cyber Sleuth delivered even more than I had imagined it could. I absolutely recommend the game to anyone fond of turn-based JRPGs, and I am personally VERY excited to see any and all future Digimon games if this is to be the new standard. If in future installments, the flaws of this game can be overcome, and the strengths further enhanced, Digimon games could become real A+ products.    … Expand

    It really is a great first step in a new age of Digimon games. The story is great, even if it doesn't really pick up till mid way, but once you get into it , it is worth the wait it is a game thats great for everyone, even the older fans.The battles are great, animations and models are perfect,some might say its repetitive but lets be real,its just how these *mon* games are. The Digilab is a great feature, so many hours spent on my farms and Digivolving and figuring out stats, its a great aspect to the game. The overall Art style and deign is just superb, it makes me want an art-book, wallpapers,themes and even some merchandise even more.

    That said it could use some improvements,more Digimon, better laid out dungeons,some character customization options,bigger maps and a little more of an open world,more online features and a handheld digivice.

    Have both for PS4 and a PS Vita. I love it on my Vita more for no reason.    … Expand

    I got to say this is the first Digimon game I actually liked it was fun, controls are simple, story is wonderful, artwork is quite stunning even if all the female characters have the same body only difference is the hair color, outfits and eye color, getting Megadigimon is quite tricky and involves a lot of work but that's where the fun comes in (and actually having a Myotismon at my sideI got to say this is the first Digimon game I actually liked it was fun, controls are simple, story is wonderful, artwork is quite stunning even if all the female characters have the same body only difference is the hair color, outfits and eye color, getting Megadigimon is quite tricky and involves a lot of work but that's where the fun comes in (and actually having a Myotismon at my side is awesome he always was my favorite digimon) I recommend this game to people looking for a good single player experience although there is multiplayer stuff on there you don't need to go into it which I found nice as not everyone likes playing online all the time, only thing about this game I hated was you couldn't edit your characters appearance the red hair annoys me lol that's why I gave it a 9 instead of 10… Expand

    Though Cyber Sleuth can get a bit grindy, the systems and the story that come with it are fascinating enough to keep you occupied for hours. This is the perfect grindgame for those long summer nights.

    Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth took me by surprise the same way the Digimon TV show did a little while back. The evolution/de-evolution mechanic, the Japanese voice track and the surprisingly mature and deep storyline were my favorite aspects, but the game really has almost no weakness or faults.

    Cyber Sleuth doesn't reinvent the JRPG that comprises its core, but for a Digimon title, this is a solid step in the right direction.
